My project is an exploration of movement influenced by the planetarium. I enjoy passionately working with movement structure because it inspires me to produce various creative work. The colour from the image I searched on google link to planetarium strongly influenced my design choices, such as the pattern and the form of their colour. I am also interested in the explorative process of using bearing to achieve creating a movable structure.


Within the field of contemporary jewellery, I admire the work of “the dancing ring” by Michael Berger”, with his work expressing many possibilities of movement in jewellery. When people wear Berger’s work, they cannot stop to interacting with it. My work challenges the kinetic structure because I want to explore movement other than just rotation in the middle. My jewellery pieces are meant to represent the universe with the stars and galaxy having inspired me to create my work.


The process of design involved researching a variety of designs and attempting to adapt them into my own work. Firstly, I did some research on reflections such as water and light reflection and used a mirror material to represent these reflections. The moveable diamond shape to enables the reflection to be visible from every angle. The structure was initially created to visualise the colour system, but later designs have it represent the planetarium instead. The element in planetarium have a very attractive reflection, and as a result I used dye acrylic and anodized aluminium to replicate it.
